Brits would decisively support rejoining the European Union if a new referendum were held, according to the latest polling from YouGov, with clear majorities emerging across all age groups – especially among younger voters.
The survey finds that 63 per cent of the UK population would vote to rejoin the EU, compared with 37 per cent who would choose to remain outside the bloc. Support is even more pronounced among younger adults: 86 per cent of those aged 18–25 say they would back rejoining, with just 14 per cent preferring to stay out.
Even among older voters – often seen as the demographic most supportive of Brexit – opinion appears to have shifted. Among those who are now retired, 60 per cent would vote to rejoin, compared with 40 per cent who would keep the UK outside the EU.

Six years later, reality seems to be doing the campaigning.

Once they come back, they’ll complain again that EU is ripping them off. History always repeats itself. Look at Trump.

In another 6 years:
“Brits would overwhelmingly back Leave in new referendum”

You’d think after 6 years and considering the current political landscape, more than 67% would have woken up.

I still can’t believe the threshold was so low to leave in the first place. It should’ve required at least 60% approval for such an extreme change.

I wish one of Labour and Tory could start confronting the question again and start a campaign on rejoining already.
Get it done while the surveys are promising.

Choose one.
Both is not possible

Now ask again and tell them that UK would lose pound and veto power.
These polls will be real funny if they elect Farage and reform.

Ok, come back, but only if they enter Schengen so we, EU citizens, can freely visit there without visas and other nonsenses, like we can in virtually all the EU.

Brits would overwhelmingly adopt the euro and join Schengen? I have a bridge to sell you

Yeah but did u take into consideration the fake bots and propaganda on social media paid by Russia and US thinktanks?

Ofc we would, it was a shit idea at the time, they’ve squeezed enough currency out of the country, now we need to get back in to recover

Only this high based on the idea that they’d get the same deal they had previously. Forced Euro adoption alone would probably drop this by 20 points, if not more.

Just wait until Elon starts investing into the “pro brexit” campaign. Public opinion can change very quickly once you pump lots of money into misinformation and straight up propaganda.

To avoid bureaucracy they can swap with Hungary.

I’d join back as long as we kept the £.

As much as I wouldn’t have wanted them to leave in the first place: No, 60% is not overwhelming. 2 years in here and they’d already have convinced 15% of them to leave again.
As long as it’s not a slam dunk percentage, letting them back in would just be asking for a potential brexit headache down the line.

UK has been pro EU for some time now. But Trump’s behaviour has really sealed the deal. Although The Labour Party have been VERY slow to improve relations with the EU (should have voted Liberal Democrat as I did!).

just in time for Farage to come back and redo everything agin.

The EU its not a Club. To rejoin, you must pay and pay. The Pound needs to go… Nothern Ireland needs to be a country of its own and Rent have to be more pricey.

Labour should pull a blinder and call a referendum a year before the next election.
Imagine it is a resounding yes, and Reform did actually win the next election… Farage would have to negotiate joinging the thing he forced us out of 🤣🤣.

As a Briton living in Europe at the time of Brexit, I was one of many ineligible to vote having not lived in the UK for the voting criteria. Likely, those in a similar position could have tipped the scale favorably to remain. Knowing of Cambridge analytics and St Petersburg bot farms deepened that sense of injustice. Knowing what we all know now, with real world mileage on the clock, not turning around is tantamount to insanity.

The world needs a strong EU that includes the UK. America is going to hell in a handbasket and it is unlikely to pull out. America will turn into a factored and failed nation. You will see areas of the USA splinter off into their own nations. Again, the world needs a strong EU to carry us forward.
